As 5G networks rapidly transform the landscape of critical infrastructure, they bring opportunities for improved efficiency, cost savings, and greater connectivity. However, these advancements also introduce new cybersecurity challenges. Traditional OT systems, like SCADA and DCS, are now facing heightened risks as they integrate with the IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) and cloud-based solutions, especially in wireless communication environments.
Our latest e-book, Enhancing Security for 5G Critical Infrastructure Networks, delves into these evolving challenges and offers insight into how to protect your most critical systems. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how to maintain a secure data flow in 5G-enabled OT environments, where traditional firewalls fall short. OPSWAT’s MetaDefender NetWall solutions provide robust safeguards with unidirectional data diodes and secure gateways, ensuring that critical environments remain safe from cyberthreats.
